Dear Handbell Directors and Ringers,

Merrimack Valley Ringers (MVR) is pleased to present a Ringing Skills Workshop, where participants can enjoy a fun-filled day of classes, food, friends and great music.

There are several options from which to choose, starting with classes taught by some of MVR’s enthusiastic and knowledgeable handbell artists.  Participants can attend up to four classes throughout the day, with at least four different topics offered during each session, including: beginning ringing, intermediate ringing, treble bell techniques, bass bells, ensemble ringing, beginning solo ringing, bell trees, and handchimes.  Our goal is to help improve ringing skills, boost performance confidence, and encourage looking at this unique instrument in new ways.

After the workshop, participants can enjoy a dinner prepared by the Southwick Congregational Handbell Choir and MVR. Get to know other ringers from throughout the region and share stories about your ringing experiences. After dinner, enjoy a free concert presented by the “Always Different, Always Fun” Merrimack Valley Ringers.
